A Province on the Edge: Why British Columbia Demands Fire Safety Excellence

British Columbia is a land of striking contrasts. From the skyscrapers of Vancouver to the refineries and sawmills of Prince George, and from high-rise residential towers to sprawling coastal and mountain towns, B.C.’s communities are vibrant, growing—and at increasing risk of fire emergencies.

In recent years, the province has faced an unprecedented combination of fire-related threats. Dense urban development in the Lower Mainland and Greater Victoria has led to complex occupancy structures requiring coordinated fire planning. Meanwhile, B.C.'s vast interior has become ground zero for escalating wildfire seasons. The 2023 wildfires ravaged over 2.8 million hectares, displacing thousands and costing the province hundreds of millions in damages and emergency response.

Whether you operate a high-tech campus in Burnaby, a forestry operation in Quesnel, or a seniors’ residence in Kelowna, one fact is clear: fire safety in British Columbia cannot be reactive. It must be strategic, informed, and future-ready.

Tailored B.C. Solutions by Sector

Vancouver & Burnaby: A developer of a 14-storey tower brought in Firepoint post-inspection delays. We reworked the fire plan, trained staff, submitted new docs — and the site was cleared within three weeks.

Kelowna & Kamloops: Firepoint supported a school district by updating wildfire strategies, installing fire watch systems, and reviewing smoke mitigation plans.

Prince George: A mill operator needed a compliance audit for Ministry review. Firepoint implemented hot work protocols and trained on-site supervisors — helping the facility pass with confidence.

Nanaimo: A non-profit seniors’ housing group was using a 2008 fire plan. Firepoint replaced it, updated drawings, and held safety sessions. The community now has a trusted, modernized plan in place.
